Darren Waller Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Sat, Aug 30th 2025, 12:53pm EDT

Darren Waller is coming out of retirement to join the Dolphins on a one-year deal. With Jonnu Smith leaving Miami for Pittsburgh, Waller could start for the Dolphins. He turns 33 in September and hasn't given us a good fantasy season since 2020. It would probably be a mistake to expect Waller to produce the same sort of numbers Jonnu put up last year in his breakthrough season, but it's possible Waller could be fantasy-relevant if the Miami passing attack continues to be more horizontal than vertical, as it was for most of last season.
